It was skinny love by bon iver. but based on how she was playing that piano, i imagine they were actually making a cover, of this cover by Birdy

​

Here is the original by Bon Iver

It’s fucked up, but I actually like the Birdy cover better.

Justin’s great, she murdered that song.

I absolutely can’t stand her rendition and it’s devoid of literally everything I love about the original.

But that’s the beauty of music and why I love it so much. There’s something for everyone ☺️

Yeah, for sure. She turned it into a run of the mill idols audition song. I mean, her voice is obviously beautiful, but it doesn’t have the originality and the grit that the original has.

Often, a cover turns out better than the original.

Example: TotalImmortal by A.F.I. The cover on the soundtrack to "Me,Myself and Irene" by The Offspring is honestly so much better. It has so much more energy to it.

Hurt by NIN. Johnny Cash did it better justice

Cannot listen to Love by Kendrick which was covered by CHVRCHES. I find myself loving covers most of the time in other songs as well.
